Actually I'd like to see rep thrown around a bit more to be honest. There's a LOT of members here that have no rep really. But the numbers are an accurate reflection of the use of the rep system. The most popular recipients of rep being tutorial authors and givers-away of free ready to use stuff of course...and the occasional really unique style poster gets hit with the rep stick...

I will say this...I repped you. And my rep-stick is worth a whopping 10 points. I'd say that was probably a nice booster for you. I've repped some people, but should probably do i tmore often to boost the use of the system.
